Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric Gets New Battery Options

Renault Scenic E-Tech Electric Adds New Battery Options

On September 1, Renault updated the Renault Scenic E-Tech electric with two battery choices designed to extend driving range and improve DC charging performance. The model continues with a 220 hp electric motor and now offers an 89 kWh NMC battery, while a 67 kWh LFP battery will be introduced later. The 89 kWh option delivers up to 642 km of range and supports peak charging power of 150 kW. The later LFP version targets up to 467 km of range and can accept peak charging power of 165 kW.

Battery Options Improve Range and Charging

The 89 kWh NMC battery can charge from 15% to 80% in 28 minutes, providing up to 642 km of range. The upcoming 67 kWh LFP battery reduces the 15% to 80% charging time to 24 minutes despite its smaller capacity, with peak charging power reaching 165 kW. Renault is positioning the LFP battery as a more affordable alternative to NMC technology while retaining competitive range and charging characteristics. This gives buyers different combinations of range, charging performance, battery chemistry, and expected vehicle cost within the Scenic E-Tech electric lineup.

Cell-to-Pack LFP Technology Supports Efficiency

The 67 kWh LFP battery uses cell-to-pack technology, which enables more efficient use of available battery-pack space. Renault says this approach contributes to the battery's range and charging performance while supporting the cost advantages associated with LFP technology. The battery is assembled in Douai, France, using cells supplied from Poland. The Scenic E-Tech electric itself is built at the Douai plant, while its electric motor is produced in Cleon, Normandy. This production arrangement keeps key vehicle and battery manufacturing activities within the European supply chain.

Updated Interior and Standard Driver Monitoring

Renault has also revised the Scenic E-Tech electric cabin with updated materials and trim choices. On the Techno trim, the seats use fabric produced with more than 95% recycled PET yarn, while coated fabric contains at least 12% recycled material. The Esprit Alpine trim receives new “spectral titanium” interior trim made with at least 75% recycled ABS-PC. The Iconic version continues to provide two interior color choices with revised trim options. Advanced driver monitoring is now standard across the range, adding the feature across all versions of the updated model.

French Pricing and Availability

In France, the updated Scenic E-Tech electric is available to order from EUR 38,750 for the Techno long-range version. Renault will introduce the Techno comfort-range version later in autumn 2026, with pricing starting at EUR 31,750. The two battery configurations therefore create a clearer distinction between long-range and comfort-range versions, while the different NMC and LFP chemistries provide additional choice. The combination of revised pricing, battery technology, charging capability, and updated cabin specifications expands the model's positioning within Renault's electric passenger-car lineup.

European Production Supports the Updated Electric Model

The updated Scenic E-Tech electric continues to use a European manufacturing network covering vehicle assembly, battery production, cell supply, and electric-motor manufacturing. Vehicle production takes place at Renault's Douai plant in France, where the battery is also assembled. The battery cells for the pack are sourced from Poland, while the electric motor is manufactured in Cleon in Normandy. This manufacturing structure remains part of the model's technical and industrial configuration as Renault expands battery choices and introduces LFP technology alongside the existing NMC option.
